Stripes and plaids are marked feat
ure of new wooden materials of all
qualities. as well as of fancy pushes
and velvets- They are seen in a larger
part of the ''suitings'' imported for en-
tire costumes, and are the favorite de-
signs for fabrics to be combined with
plain woolens. The Hungarian stripes
intI oduccd in the spring are repeated
in richer and more varied autumn col
orings, and are now preferred to larger
blocks and stripes These goods come
in light weights of camers hair and
twilled wool for the early part of the
season, and in fine but heavy cloths for
comfortable winter suits They are
made in regular tailor fashion, with a
coat en- suite made of plain cloth the
shade of the background of the stripe
or plaid. This is finished with n turned
down collar. reVers down the front and
cuffs of velvet. This forms popular
demi-season costume for travelling,
shopping and general use.
The Norfolk jackets and trim-fitting
Garibaldi waists of red or blue queens
cloth are still very popularity worn by
young ladies. These have the advan-
tage of supplying the protection needed
at this season, without the carrying
about of an extra wrap. New fall
Eton Jackets and coats are handsomely
trimmed with braiding, galloons of silk
cord, with shoulder ornaments and
pendeloques for the front to correspond,
or are stylishly finished with single
line of silver warranted not to tarnish
with wear. This bit of silver is far
prettier and more elegant than the
snowy silver branding or embroidery in
elaborate patterns, and shows simply
beyond the tapering revers that reach
down each side of the front, from
shoulder to hem and the edge OF the
collar and cuffs. Buttons to match are
covered with the cloth. with tiny star
of silver at the top. This silver finish
is particularly effective upon coats of
dark blue Scotch broadcloth. Covert
coats in tan, fawn and ecru are still
fashionable, but the newer jackets in
plain, dark colors are generally pre-
ferred.
Some very charming weddings have
taken place recently. At one of these,
a church wedding, Keble's beauti-
full wedding hymn, 1.-The voice that
breathed DER Eden" was sung as the
bridal party entered the church. Dur
ing the service there was a grand an
them, with the wedding march played
at the close. The bride wore an eX-
quisltely beautiful gown of white lace,
with diamond ornaments, and the
bridesmaids attire was especially pref
ty and becoming. The dresses were of
pale primrose corded silk, draped with
apricot gauze, their bouquets of SAT-
from flowers and foliage, and their or
naments Roman pearls. Another group
of bridesmaids at recent wedding
wore toilets of cream-colored Valen-
ciennes lace, with Louis XIV. bodices
of cream-white MORE over vests of
lace. There were immense sashes at
the back of the MORE, and they car
ried bouquets of tea roses tied with
moire ribbon. The brides gown was
of white duchesse satin, yelled with
pointde gauze; this airy drapery looped
up with sprays of natural flowers. Her
travelling suit was of gray Venetian
cloth, trimmed with silver passemen-
